In some examples, a method may include depositing, from a slurry comprising particles including silicon metal, a bond coat precursor layer including the particles comprising silicon metal directly on a ceramic matrix composite substrate. The method also may include locally heating the bond coat precursor layer to form a bond coat comprising silicon metal. Additionally, the method may include forming a protective coating on the bond coat. In some examples, an article may include a ceramic matrix composite substrate, a bond coat directly on the substrate, and a protective coating on the bond coat. The bond coat may include silicon metal and a metal comprising at least one of Zr, Y, Yb, Hf, Ti, Al, Cr, Mo, Nb, Ta, or a rare earth metal.

A multilayer abradable coating includes at least one first abradable layer; and at least one second abradable layer, wherein the first abradable layer and the second abradable layer have different properties related to erosion resistance.

A blade for fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) flue hot gas expander with a layer of hard abrasive material localized on the blade tip that contributes to reducing the accumulation of FCC catalyst residuals in the expander.

In a component made of press-form-hardened, aluminium-based coated steel sheet, the coating has a covering which contains aluminum and silicon applied in the hot-dip process. The press-form-hardened component in the transition region between steel sheet and covering has an inter-diffusion zone I, wherein, depending on the layer application of the covering before heating and press hardening, the thickness of the inter-diffusion zone I obeys the following formula: I [μm]<(1/35)×application on both sides [g/m.sup.2]+(19/7). Formed on the inter-diffusion zone I is a zone having various intermetallic phases having an average total thickness between 8 and 50 μm, on which zone there is in turn arranged a covering layer containing aluminum oxide and/or hydroxide having an average thickness of at least 0.05 μm to at most 5 μm.

A method for preparing a multilayer material based on active lithium, by depositing a film of active lithium on a protective layer at a sufficient speed so that substantially no oxidation of the lithium occurs, and/or during a sufficient time for the adhesion of the lithium to develop after contact with the protective layer. The multilayer material, when incorporated in an electrochemical battery as an anode, has excellent impedance stability and no formation of dendrites during the cycling. Batteries where the anode is the multilayer material are particularly efficient in terms of their coulombic efficiency.

A diffusion barrier coating on a nickel-based alloy substrate comprising the diffusion barrier being coupled to the substrate between the substrate and a abrasive composite material opposite the substrate, wherein the diffusion barrier comprises a nickel cobalt and chromium-aluminum-yttria powder material a high phosphorus nickel-P alloy.

This invention relates to a method, system and apparatus for cladding a surface of an articles subject to corrosive, erosive or abrasive wear, such as impact or grinding tools. The method includes providing a supply of stock material and feeding the stock material towards a portion of the surface of the article via a dedicated feed source. A dedicated heat source heats the fed stock material and the portion of the surface of the article such that the heated stock material and the portion of the surface at least partially melt. Upon removal of the heat, the molten feedstock and the surface portion form a bonded coating layer on at least a portion of the surface of the article, thereby protecting that part of the assembly against wear.

A coated article (20;60) includes a substrate (22) and a coating (24;62) on the substrate. The coating includes at least a first layer (30). The first layer has: a matrix (50); and a filler (52) at 2.0% to 40% by volume in the first layer. The first layer is selected from alkaline earth or transition metal (M) tungstates (MWO4); alkaline earth molybdates (MMoO.sub.4); rare earth (RE) phosphates (REPO.sub.4); and combinations thereof.

A composition, a machine component coated with the same, and a method of coating the machine component are provided. The composition includes a CoNiCrAlY alloy, where three or more elements of the CoNiCrAlY alloy are present in equimolar amounts, one of the three or more elements of the CoNiCrAlY alloy being aluminum (Al), and where a molar fraction of Al is between about 0.20 and about 0.25. The composition further includes a transition metal boride including at least one of: cobalt boride (Co.sub.2B), titanium boride (TiB.sub.2), zirconium boride (ZrB.sub.2), tantalum boride (TaB.sub.2), niobium boride (NiB.sub.2), or molybdenum boride (Mo.sub.2B), and a refractory alloy.

A method includes applying a material coating on a surface of a machine component using a thermal spray, wherein the material coating is formed from a combination of a hardfacing material and aluminum-containing particles. The method also includes thermally treating the material coating to generate an oxide layer comprising aluminum from the aluminum-containing particles, wherein the oxide layer is configured to reduce oxidation of the hardfacing material.
